Comments Thread For: Hearn Has Doubts: In Our Mind, Tyson Fury is Not Fighting Anthony Joshua

[Jack_sh*t]

Any offenses the UK sports media has committed in overhyping Joshua are nothing compared to the offenses they are still committing in glossing over Fury’s mysterious doping ban, his past misogynistic comments, his serial backouts from scheduled fights and his clear, public and longtime links to an alleged murderous global gangster who has had a $5 million bounty placed on his head by the US government. Say what you want about Joshua, but you can never say that while he was heavyweight champion, he was deemed persona non grata by the United States and barred from entering the country. Guess who you can say that about? Fury! Yet the UK sports media and worldwide boxing media is too cowardly to address this, and it has been left to a handful of Irish journalists, and in particular a female crime columnist, to do all the digging and investigating.

Sorry, but the real “villain” isn’t Hearn - or Joshua.

Remind me again... which one of them was busted for dealing drugs???

Eddie is so full of ****, he couldn't hide that if his life depended on it. It's an 80M quid fight that means 32 for AJ. He will never get that type of money again.

[Hands of Stone]

Fury's mouthing off only gave Eddie something to hold on to here. Pushing that aside, it was clear as day that Eddie was never going to allow this fight to happen. It just doesn't make sense to sacrifice his golden goose so Fury can keep rising. One more loss and AJ's career may as well be over and the money train for Matchroom is effectively derailed. Business-wise it just doesn't make sense especially with his new DAZN deal and I get it. It is still a bigger fight as long as AJ doesn't keep piling up losses and moreso a big summer fight too than a hurriedly put together contest. Fast Eddie was just putting on that facade all along to make it seem like he wanted it. They never wanted it similar to the Wilder negotiations back in the day.

Really!! Whoever would guessed young Edward?? I’m ****ing amazed.

I guess they don't have to fight this year.

Who else is a bigger box office fight for Fury besides Usyk? Joyce is a very good fight, but who else? He already beat up Wilder a lot.

Andy Ruiz is not an attractive fight, nor is the Cuban Sanchez that much of an appealing fight. Flip Hrgovic and Zhang are decent but similar level, not a threat to Fury. Joshua would still be a big fight in demand.

Fury’s flip-flopping had me questioning the legitimacy of this offer but it seems that all the major things have been agreed and Hearn’s been stalling for the last week or so.

[boxing IQ]

Hearn is no prize, but he's right. This whole fight should've never been entertained to begin with.

Fury's a coward for calling out Joshua at his lowest and with a firm stance on hardly giving the guy time to recover and train properly.

Hearn did his best to help Joshua save face for openly agreeing to the fight.

A fight of this magnitude sails way past the radar of a rush job, the gypsy idiot.

Yeah we know AJ isn’t landing that fight. Hearn puts a lot into his posturing!! It’s so obvious he’s protecting his golden goose. He even swerved an undisputed bout n now he’s costing his guy’s shot at the throne . AJ was never #1 without facing the #1 I remember all these fan girls had AJ #1 when he beat dillian whyte. He never had to beat the guy this why they hated on wilder so hard. Hmm all because this swerved him than came the campaign to drag him through the mud

This is Eddie’s game. Had a non journalism UK sports press fawning over Joshua and Matchroom. This is little brother syndrome- openly rooting for British fighters instead of objective sportswriting. And in the other corner you have a wacky Irish traveller from a family with a long record of brushes with the law. Was very easy for them to play heroes and villains. But it’s over. We now know everything. Hearn absolutely used a ********** pay for play UK sports press to spin that wilder ducked Joshua. He had press cry and whine like old women when PED punching bag whyte couldn’t get a title fight - even tho Hearn promoted one of the champions!!!! Oh and the same fake journalists had nothing to say about Whyte dirty pee vs Rivas. And now his meal ticket has been exposed as a malfunctioning robot in dramatic athletic and mental decline. And one loss away from the fertilizer factory. And absolutely terrified of the heavyweight champion. Exposed as the #4 HW of his era, this generation’s John Ruiz

Well you would know better than anyone, Peddie.
